HKS R32 Zero R

[Rezz]

Hey Rezz do you know any engine specs?

I know that practically every part available in HKS's 1991 engine parts list was used for the Zero R, what those parts actually were however, I don't know.

The whole "Zero R" idea came about because HKS wanted to compete in the '91 Tokyo Auto Salon "Complete Car Grand Prix"... a contest to see who can build the best car based on a stock-from-factory vehicle. Aparently the car was fully engineered to a 270km/h standard (read: safe), and was built for high speed cruising performance, durability, all wrapped up in a well behaved "mature" package. The development budget for the Zero R from idea to complete car was 100,000,000 yen.

Dude, it's not like we can just click-click-click and find one for sale... you know? I'm sure the owner of the one that is getting about would want at least half of what he paid for it.

Well done mate...

Thats about all the info thats lying around on this car I think... theres precious little left to post about. I hope SAU members can kinda get the picture on how the Japanese mentality works through a thread like this, ie: The Zero R is gone, so why all the interest? (don't take that the wrong way, from a Jap point of view, thats what they think about Aussies getting interested in old(er)skool 'lines) It's an awesome car obviously, but even with the much bigger population in Japan compared to Australia or even the UK, theres about as many people interested in the Zero R in Japan as there are in Australia... read: bugger all.

Sorry guys, it sounds like a negative post, but I just got slightly dissed by my mate Kazuya because he couldn't understand why I was interested in a relic from '91... the R34/V35 is where it's at now!!!

[MINES_DATSUN]

yeh i asked a friend about this car aswell in japan he said its not a big deal.. but the only reason i would love to own this car is because its rare. once a car is rare its worth plenty. .. its like the old gtho phase 3 but with the models being made so little .

[OKBANANA]

good job redline finding those pics

[Guest RedLineGTR]

the thing is there isnt much know or interest about this car or similar examples in general...but people in japan dont bother with old technology and achivements they always looks for the newest and best thing thats why they are ahead in technology i would assume. Also if it was such a great car then thier would be more info about it...

[Guest RedLineGTR]

this car is rare but so are drag cars that run 7sec down the 1/4 mile flat...power ratings of turbos have gone up if hks were to make another car like that in a r34 format it would be probably twice as powerfully. Everything has its prime year...and it had passed

[MINES_DATSUN]

ye actually they only made 10. that is why its rare. this car is rarer then the NUR spec R34.. and also i bet it would rape the Nur R34. it is the Fastest Stock GTR to buy from factory to date. that is why there is only 1 or 2 driving around in japan.

If you mean electronic as in: heated seat, remote control (like... a DVD remote!) bidet, air drying, flush, motorized seat open/close and am/fm radio contrlos... then, yes.
